Holiday Fun

We wish Grandpa
Mcgee was here to help build our puzzle. We all worked together. Luke, Olivia, & Ethan are so great at building puzzles so quickly! We finished this puzzle in a few days. This was the painting done at the Gingerbread Festival. They made it into a puzzle, how cool! We are now working on Rockefeller's Square, NY. Dowdle is the artist.We love his puzzles, his studio is at Thanksgiving Point,Lehi, UT.

Here is a picture of Ethan's book report cake. "When Santa Fell to the Earth". On the cake has characters from the book. It was a fun project that we all helped on. Ethan did 6 book reports for the month of November. He is trying to earn the Gold Medal Reading Award. Go Ethan!

Welcome Christmas!

This is our family enjoying the start of the Holidays!We were baking for Thanksgiving,playing games, building puzzles,and crocheting. When grandma & grandpa came up the week before Thanksgiving she gave us a class on how to make a scarf. So all of my kids will be getting a scarf for Christmas from me. It will have plenty of character with uneven lines, and changing sizes along the way. but it will keep them warm, and that is what matters. So Kjirsten and I were having fun practicing our new found skill. I have finished 2, only 4 more to go!

Here is Jeremy and James setting up for the battle of Rumikun. We are very competitive, and always accusing one another of cheating. Especially if you were the that one! We have a great time!!! We had Kjirsten, Tyler, Blue, Jeremy, and Faith over with all of our wild group. It was a lot fun, and we ate way too much, about split our pants! I knew I should have worn my spandex!!

We also went to the Gingerbread Festival to inspire our own family creations. We will be getting our Christmas Tree, and finishing up all of our outside lights, and indoor decorating. Get ready to freeze our baguettes off, it is very cold when we are outside trying to put up the lights and decorations. We are half way done, so it shouldn't be too bad! Plenty of hot cocoa to defrost, with marshmallows. We are excited for the possibility of a White Christmas this year!
